AMD Shanghai is officially out

[Macadamia]

Here it is.


TR does same results in controlled environment. Good points for relative reference. This was before a TLB patch ever existed, so good try spinning.

Read this again. I dont think the desktop version outperform the server version in rendering that much. Do you?

And you seem to mix scores alot from 9 and 10

[informal]

Macadamia is right.
The gains in Cenebench10 ,when going from K8 to K10 in single thread score were minimal,in the region of 3%!
The gains from K10->K10.5 are 23% clock for clock in 64bit version!Be it more L3 or a combination of IPC gains,the Shanghai simply blasts Barcelona core in this benchmark(it's a toy benchmark nonetheless).

The specint_base2006 is more telling(21% faster clock for clock:


@Shintel

Nice try.
Tech report used Cinebench10 64bit version.
http://techreport.com/articles.x/13176/2

We used the following versions of our test applications:

* SiSoft Sandra XI.SP4a 64-bit
* CPU-Z 1.40
* SPECjbb2005 with Sun Java 6 Update 2 Windows x64 edition
* Valve VRAD map build benchmark
* Cinebench R10 64-bit Edition
* POV-Ray for Windows 3.7 beta 22 64-bit
* CASE Lab Euler3d CFD benchmark multithreaded edition
* MyriMatch proteomics benchmark
* notfred's Folding benchmark CD 8/8/07 revision
* picCOLOR 4.0 build 598 64-bit
* The Panorama Factory 4.5 x64 Edition
* Windows Media Encoder 9 x64 Edition

Do i have to do math for you Hornet??

2.3Ghz Barc. scores 9.2 => 2.7Ghz Brac. assuming perfect scaling would score 9.2 x 1.17=10.76

2.7Ghz Shanghai(667Mhz DDR2) scores 13.1.Therefore:
13.1/10.76=1.21 or 21% clock for clock

It's simple math...

edit2: Ahh Hornet requested a delete of his post since it was a brain fart? Oh man lol
edit:
done the calculation for specint_ratebase this time,Shanghai now extends the lead over same clocked Barcelona by a few more percents,now it's a claimed 25% in rate test(base ,a singlethreaded one was 21% better clock for clock).So even here we see the claimed IPC increase stands...


Also ,there is 22% increase in singletreaded specfp_base2006 scores when compared to same clock Barcelona.Numbers are here.
In specfp_rate_base2006 ,a multhithread test,there is 26% clock for clock increase over Barcelona with when 667 DDR2 mem. is used and 33% per clock increase with DDR2-800!!
